Planning to move to Thailand? Check the expensive gaps before you go.
We lost $4,560 moving to Thailand through mistakes we didn’t see coming — from medical bills and banking problems to savings gaps, visa costs, and underestimating daily life here.
That is why we created the Thailand Move Reality Check: a practical bundle to help future expats spot what they may have missed and work out what their move could actually cost before they commit.
✔️ Spot the expensive gaps in your move plan
✔️ Work out whether Thailand is actually affordable for you
✔️ Build a realistic budget before you relocate
How it works
- Audit your plan
Use our interactive workbook to check for what people often forget or misjudge before moving - Run your budget
We’ve already prefilled the calculator with our real Thailand costs, so you can start with real numbers and adjust them to your own lifestyle. - See what still needs sorting
Leave with a clearer idea of what feels ready and what still needs work
The Mistakes that Cost Us
We’re Steffi and Jason, a US/UK expat couple living in Bangkok. We’ve been here for 9+ years, experienced 3 different visa types and helped hundreds of new expats. We’ve made many expensive mistakes, from insurance and accidents, to settling in costs, deposits, additional visa fees…we’ve dealt with some stress and chaos!
We’ve lost over $4,000 from expat mistakes. A condo deposit, unexpected medical bill or banking issue can easily cost more than $49.
We made this bundle to help you check the gaps in your own plan before they turn into expensive surprises.

This is for you if you are…
✅ seriously considering a Thailand move
✅ moving in the next 6-12 months
✅ trying to work out your monthly budget
✅ feeling unsure about savings, insurance, locations and settling in costs
This is not for you if you only want a quick holiday budget, legal visa advice, or someone to make decisions for you.
What this helps you do
- Spot the expensive gaps in your move plan before you relocate
- Work out what life in Thailand could actually cost you
- Make informed decisions before you book flights, sign leases, or commit to big expenses
What you get
Two practical tools to help you check the gaps in your move plan and work out your likely budget before you relocate.
- Thailand Move Mistake Audit — Complete the self-audit based on our own mistakes. By the end, you’ll have a clearer picture of where your plan is strong, where it is risky, and what you still need to sort out before you move.
- Thailand Cost of Living Calculator — Work out what your real life in Thailand could cost before you move based on real expat spending – from bottles of wine to grocery shops & bills


The Thailand Move Reality Check is designed to help you spot potential gaps before you book flights, sign a lease, or commit to big expenses.
If you’re still 12+ months away, you can still use the audit and calculator to work out how much you may need to save, what costs you might not have considered, and which parts of your move plan need more research before you arrive.
No. We share practical guidance based on our experience living in Thailand and the visa experiences we have had. Our products are not legal advice. You’re responsible for confirming requirements for your specific situation.
Yes. The calculator and audit are private. You make your own copy that we cannot access.
